>>13 There are not more intelligent socialists but there are more socialists who are members of the intellectual class. This is because members of the intellectual class became as such when they became dissatisfied with the tastes and priorities of a society that formed by the collective buying power of the general masses. It creates a disdain for the general masses and thereby, for the idea of liberty, because the system they then try to implement is one that will allow them control. You should read some of the works of Milton Friedman and Dr. Steven Yates, I've never read them myself but I am told they share similar views to mine and have well supported works.
